For me, it's the question of "Is it good defense for a secondary defender to set up in a position where the driving player flattens him on the way down for the sole purpose of trying to draw a charge call?"
In my mind, the answer is "No, it isn't." I'm a fan of the RA, myself. I don't hesitate to call PC fouls in NFHS games now, but to me being a secondary defender and putting yourself in a spot where the player is going to land (or almost land) isn't playing good defense and the NCAA has recognized that.
I'd like to see an NFHS RA, but only if they draw it on the court. The NCAA having an invisible box last season was a disaster, IMO.
